Description Pritam Singh 2018-12-06 18:24:41 UTC
Description of problem:

Getting 'CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN' error for expired certs and 'Unauthorized' error for revoked certs in RHEL8. Is these expected?
Because earlier for RHEL7.4 -> RHEL7.5 the error messages changed from "PKIException: Unauthorized" to "FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED" and "FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_REVOKED"

As not able to seeing appropriate error messages for Revoked and Expired certificates as below:

[root@pki1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.0 Beta (Ootpa)

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminR" ca-profile-show caAgentFoobar
PKIException: Unauthorized
[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminE" ca-profile-show caAgentFoobar
FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN
IOException: SocketException cannot write on socket
[root@pki1 ~]# ls /var/lib/pki/
topology-02-CA  topology-02-KRA


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

PKI Command-Line Interface 10.6.8-1.module+el8+2277+f150bc67

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to terminal and fetch certs or profile with Revoked Cert:

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminR" ca-profile-show caUserCert
PKIException: Unauthorized

2. Go to terminal and fetch certs or profile with Expired Cert:

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminE" ca-profile-show caUserCert
FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN
IOException: SocketException cannot write on socket

Actual results:

Getting 'CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN' error for expired certs and 'Unauthorized' error for revoked certs in RHEL8.

Expected results:

Error messages should consistent whatever may be the topology. It should trigger 'CERTIFICATE_REVOKED' for revoked certs & 'CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED' for expired certs.
